Countach, the ultimate supercar

Well I was in the area today and I took a shot. Its uber cool but really has become reserved for mature audience at this point. Not sure I want to post that by fear of causing some of us some of us jumping off a bridge LOL. It looks like a sculpture under frozen snow. Cant see the car anymore but you can figure it out. An art guy would love it!

 

We ARE mature. Well...most of us are...
So let's see your fresh picture!

 

Yes I qualify as an old enthusiast and will give you my 60 year old opinion.

 

Is this the same car as the one shown in similar poses in previous winters ?

 

yep. ok. then but I'll put them under the other thread about "Countach fire in Ct" so that I dont subject others to more of this in this thread full of fine pictures

 

I was just curious (and hoping no one else was so careless with so fine a car), so please don't move them due to anything Ive said

 

Dont worry. I think it is just best to place them in another thread I think. this thread is supposed to be about owners who are caring for their car.

 

Could it by that one of them was #FLA12227 owned by David Cross?
The rear spoiler looks very identifying.

 

The name sounds very familiar, was he in Arkansas? Remember this was 20 years ago

 

Might be, I found a thread about this car: http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/lamborghinichat-com-sponsored-lamborghini-houston/213492-white-ebay-jalpa.html
David Cross in Tennessee

 

Cough cough countach thread guys
LOL

 

Your talking about the Jalpa sitting next to my countach, no thats not it, the wing is a Koenig wing.

PM me if you want to know more.

 

Hello

Does anybody know this Lp 400 for sale in France ?

The ad is very recent. 29th December.

Rare lamborghini countach lp400 1974 Voitures Paris - leboncoin.fr

3 owners, does start but can't run since a clutch leak and linkage failure.

the car is being sold to the best offer. However the sell will be done via a french "notaire" or solicitor as it's called in the UK or US.

 

Not sure how long this link will stay active, but a journalist friend took my black one for a spin:

Lamborghini Countach: a supercar icon of the 1980s in Dubai | The National

 

Very nice write up, appreciate you posting.

 

Jack...

Love these pictures...keep them coming.
So your 400S was red/white before?

Brian

 

Great article.

Beautiful car.

Thank you for sharing.

 

thanks for sharing!

ciao

 

I inquired about it a few days after the ad went live, never heard back. Le Bon Coin is full of people trying to sell cars they don't own or even know, especially for old stuff. Once in the while it's also the other way around with dealers advertising elsewhere cars they've found on le bon coin!

 

SOLD AT 240+ k USD

ciao

 

So it went to the US?

 

No. It was sold here in Europe. Almost 250 K USD. The new owner is a well known VIP

ciao

 

5000S selling at $250K in a few days... Whoa... times have changed fast..

 

Yes, but it wasn't an average USA car with missing pieces and in poor conditions...

ciao

 

While it was an exceptional car it still raises the bar for all the rest.
I do not believe the white car would have brought more than $150K two years ago.
Based on that number we have seen 30% year upon year appreciation in value over the past couple years.
I am certain a good bit of this is due to the US dollar being worth considerably less that what it was worth two years ago. However that is an entirely different subject.
